Moonroof yes or no?

I'm looking for a used 2017-2018 i3 Rex, and one came up in my price range but has a moonroof. I've read here and on other forums, they can become problematic. I would prefer a car without one, but I need a car and being patient is becoming difficult. I have to park in an area with many trees, lots of birds etc. It's lovely, but I've read about the drains becoming clogged and causing issues. I've also read about the fabric inside around the roof having issues. I think the answer is "keep looking" but wanted to ask here in case I'm worrying too much about the roof. Thanks much in advance.

UPDATE: Planned to test drive, found out it was sold. So, back to the search. And, it seems prices have soared in the last few days, and less available Grrrr. Thank you so much for all your very informative replies. I am so intrigued by this car's engineering, can't wait until I post the "its mine" photo.

Electrify America NACS connector work for the i3 with an adapter?

So the local Electrify America location that I use regularly, decided to switch out all of their chargers to NACS this week. I know for a fact that Tesla chargers don’t work even with an adapter on the i3. My question is does that still apply to Electrify America chargers? Does the adapter just not work at all regardless of what the charger station is? Just wanna know if anybody has used an adapter on the i3 before I go out and buy one for it. I feel this is gonna be an ongoing issue where they are retrofitting all the chargers with the NACS. And if it does not work with the adapter, that’s gonna suck for a lot of i3 owners in the near future.

Failing Headliner

My 2014 i3’s headliner is fully collapsing. My car is approaching the end of its life so I’m curious if anyone has gotten this fixed recently and what the repair cost was? Trying to decide if I should just shove some pens in the headliner and deal with it for another year. For context, I live in Texas and the car is not garage kept.

Screen option for Android Auto

Hi all, just wanted to share my setup for Android Auto. I do have the larger screen that comes with the tecnology package in my i3, but this only is good for carplay. I did not want to go with the MMI retrofit route.

The screen (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F66P83K6?th=1) rests snuggly on top the existing screen. It does wireless android auto and carplay as well, if you so incline, leaving the main screen to display car info.
